Vilner Introduces BMW Stormtrooper



The premiere of Star Wars 7 might be a year away, but you do not have to wait that long to lay your eyes on the latest Stormtrooper. Bulgarian studio - Vilner's latest project sports a sparkling white colour, which is undoubtedly reminiscent of the Imperial Army troops of Darth Vader. However, quite unlike Lord Vader's army, BMW Stormtrooper by Vilner is most definitely unique. The Stormtrooper is the studio's second big project; it debuted the BMW Bullshark - E63 coupe last year. The BMW Stormtrooper is basically the convertible version of Bullshark.

BMW Stormtrooper - a E64 M6 - uses a non-traditional white and brown colour combination; the exterior is white pearl, while its hood is brown. It gets 20-inch black wheels with a white stripe, which tends to remind one of the ion engines of the X-Wing fighters. The white and brown combination continues on the inside too.

However, the kidney in the pre-radiator grille, the lips under the front bumper, the doorsteps and "gills" in the front fenders are in brown mat. Like the Bullshark, the Stormtrooper also uses BMW emblems as side indicators.
As far performance is concerned, the BMW Stormtrooper E64 M6 will put out the same power as the car it is based on, i.e. 500bhp.
